On December 29, Rivet 1 reached end of life and will no longer receive updates.

If you have any websites or web applications still using Rivet 1 assets, please migrate them to Rivet 2 as soon as you’re able. A migration guide is available at v1.rivet.iu.edu.

There is no deadline by which your site or application must be migrated to Rivet 2. However, as Rivet 1 will no longer receive critical security or accessibility updates, it is important to migrate to Rivet 2 as soon as possible.
